These are my three Elevator Cards routines.
If a magician truly had the ability to control cards to the top or bottom of the deck, the possibilities would be far beyond what’s shown in standard versions.
In these three routines, you’ll see my approach to the Elevator plot and the kinds of effects this concept can produce.
Quadruple Elevator:
One of my favorite original routines.
If the magician can control a card to the top or bottom, then I can send any card to any position I want.
Four Lifts:
The spectator cuts the deck into four packets.
The Ace through Four of Spades rise one by one like classic elevator phases—but if I can truly control cards to the top, then I can also bring all four Aces to the top of the deck.
The surprise is that even though the spectator freely cuts into four packets, the outcome still perfectly aligns.
Elevator Collector:
A blend of the Elevator Cards plot and the Collectors plot.
The four Aces not only demonstrate the elevator effect but also cleanly locate the spectator’s three selections.
